Cochise County is in southeastern Arizona, bordering New Mexico and Mexico. In the Chiricahua Mountains, Camp Dos Cabezas takes place in the historic Chiricahua Apache homeland, which they called the "Land of Standing Up Rocks." Educational activities of the camp also take place in Santa Cruz and Pima counties. Spanish colonizers named the region Pimeria Alta, or the Upper Lands of the Pima. Following the War with Mexico (which resulted in the New Mexico Territory being ceded to the United States in 1848), these counties were part of the 1853 Gadsden Purchase. Southeast Arizona became one of the most diverse regions in America before 1900.
